*Help Return 3 WWII Heroes to Their Battlefields!
This isn't just a trip—it's a chance to honor 3 living members of the Greatest Generation while we still have the privilege to do so
During the first week of October, I will be taking 3 World War II veterans back to Europe to revisit the battlefields where they fought more than 80 years ago. For these men, this will likely be their final opportunity to return, and we're asking for your help to make this mission possible.
- Russ, 100 years old, will retrace his path through Germany's Hürtgen Forest and revisit the location where he was wounded while serving with the 1st Infantry Division, 18th Infantry Regiment, G Company, 1st Platoon.
- Truman, 101, served with the 106th Infantry Division, 424th Infantry Regiment, D Company, 1st Platoon. He will return to St. Vith, Belgium, where he crossed the Siegfried Line and took part in the Battle of the Bulge.
- Frank Stellar, 102, was drafted in 1943 and landed in France after D-Day. During the battle and the mass casualties, Frank was reassigned to the 36th infantry division, fighting through Belgium and Germany.
These 3 men helped shape history through their courage and sacrifice. They deserve the opportunity to return to the places where they served and reflect on the legacy they helped create.
Funds raised through this GoFundMe will help cover airfare, hotels, group transportation, meals, and the travel expenses of the family members, caregivers, and support personnel needed to safely accompany them.
We'll document the entire journey and share updates on my Facebook page and website so everyone can experience this remarkable trip alongside us.
Thank you for helping us honor these heroes and make this unforgettable journey possible.
